Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced (button, cremini, or a mix)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional for added richness)
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1:
In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes. - Step 2:
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. - Step 3:
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 7–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and turn golden brown. - Step 4:
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat them evenly. Cook for 2–3 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. - Step 5:
Slowly pour in the vegetable broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Add the soy sauce, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. - Step 6:
If desired, stir in the heavy cream for a richer texture. Simmer for an additional 5–7 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to your preferred consistency. - Step 7:
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
